These pictures come courtesy of Kennywood Connection. This picture shows the workers test fitting the final piece. The Sea serpent is now complete and may I add looks amazing. The other picture shows workers installing the lift chain. I added this because there was questions about the cross...

OK! Random thought. Blue Flash Coaster is about an hour north of Holiday World. I hear the guy is really friendly as long as you make arrangements in advance. Marcus, you think you could pull some srtings and get something set up for Sunday Morning.

Just think... there are as many non operating coasters in that picture as there are operating coasters.

And so is Parques Reunidos. Two words... Merlin's Mayhem.. lol

I'll bring the Ol Smoky for you as promised. I plan on being there but the kids will be elsewhere. I have a 7 seater SUV so I can help with carpooling to HW if needed.

Being a maintenance guy at a large factory. My guess is that its like that to allow access to the chain and cog up there. If you look closely. It appears to have tabs there the cross ties should go so they can bolt on the cross ties later. Those are the types of things engineers overlook but...

Keep in mind that for all intents and purposes, Kennywood is a regional park. All my friends from that area are excited about a coaster themed to their beloved team. The other thing to keep in mind is that the Steeler organization is footing some of the bill for this area. Personally, I don't...

It would better if Snoop came out from the garage and passed out joints to everyone waiting on the MCBR. It wold make the second half much more interesting.

there were a lot of great pictures taken that day. I don't think many peeps used the hashtag when sharing pictures.

I want to see a video of everyone riding Kangaroo. That ride IMHO is the best flat ride anywhere.

Skyrocket had a fire in the control cabinet. Some of those parts, for whatever reason, had to come from Germany and I'm sure cost 4 times as much. I would assume that KW put the repairs on the back burner last summer due to trying to get Thomas Town up and running and get to it in the off...

You're just upset cause you lost another slap bet.. lol

Great write up! I'm kinda disappointed we opted to not stay an extra day. Here's a picture of Steve getting on wilderness Run and the video. All my family had a blast and it was great making new friends.

why does my profile still say New member?

The best part was when we took over an entire train on Wilderness Run! There's some epic footage of that floating around. What wasn't captured was the reaction of all the adults in the queue when we got off.

There's no MCBR or launch system to worry about so the systems should be pretty basic. Kentucky flyer was up and running after two weeks of testing. So theoretically, if they can get the track complete in 2 weeks. ( saw pictures today that the other tower is 1/3 complete). then have 2 weeks of...

1. Voyage at night. 2. Front row on Lightning Rod during as remnants of a tropical storm were coming through. 3. Riding next to my son on a Vekoma SLC and laughing because he is in sheer pain just after he muttered the words, "It doesn't look that rough."

I'll have my 3 kids with me also.

Actually that's quite plausible. IF i read the topo correctly, there is about 150' elevation difference between the loading station of Slidewinder and Showstreet near the entrance of the park. So a 200' foot lift hill near the landing area of Slidewinder could get you a 300' plus drop over the...

I nominate this for a face slap!
